</div>

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler,false,0,true)

This is not working but if I removed those parameters, it’s okay

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resizeHandler);

I am really puzzled why the default parameters must be hidden to make it works correctly… Really strange!
